Spacecraft engineering is the field of engineering that focuses on the design, development, and operation of spacecraft for various purposes, such as satellite communication, scientific research, exploration, and defense. It involves a multidisciplinary approach that includes aeronautical, mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering principles. Spacecraft engineers work on all aspects of spacecraft design, including propulsion systems, navigation systems, thermal control, materials selection, and testing. They also oversee the construction, launch, and operation of spacecraft to ensure they meet mission objectives and operate safely in the harsh environment of space.
